1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Data-driven model discovery (DDMD) algorithms are powerful tools for extracting interpretable symbolic models from data. However, identifying the model that best balances goodness-of-fit and sparsity is often a laborious process requiring user fine-tuning, is prone to overfitting, and results may significantly vary depending on model initialization and specific training procedure. Here, we present a sparse regression algorithm that automatically and adaptively generates candidate models, and uses a novel sample-length-scaling logarithmic information criterion (SLIC) to identify the best model from these candidates. We demonstrate that SLIC greatly outperforms other popular information criteria in extracting the correct model from the data of several nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations. Then, we demonstrate SLIC's ability to discover interpretable models from experimental datasets in fluid dynamics and nanotechnology that generate new testable predictions.
